European Prize in Combinatorics

Continuing with the tradition established at EuroComb’03 in Prague the European Prize in Combinatorics will be awarded during the conference EuroComb 2015. The prize is established to recognize excellent contributions in Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and their Applications by young European researchers (eligibility of EU) not older than 35. The prize carries a monetary award of 2500 Euro. The nomination letter including CV and the list of publications of the nominee must be sent to the organizers of EUROCOMB’15 before April 15, 2013. The nominations will be evaluated by an international jury. The award of 2500 EURO for 2015 is founded with contributions of DIMATIA, local organizers and Elsevier B.V.

This year the prize was given out to Karim Adiprasito, Zdenek Dvorak, and Rob Morris. Congratulations to them all.
